Capricorn ♑ Full Moon 2025
This week we have the Full Moon in Capricorn on the 11.7.25. AEST. Full moons in Capricorn show where we need to level up and take responsibility. Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. Full moons are always in opposition to the Sun. At this point in time the Sun is in the sign of Cancer. This full moon will show that we need to balance responsibility, ambition and public life while having to secure our emotions at the same time. Pay attention to where the full moon is placed in your birth natal chart as this where you will want to illuminate this area and take responsibility. Personal responsibility ambitions, commitments and accountability will surface especially as Saturn is about to go retrograde this month. Remember planets in retrograde are Yin times and Saturn going retrograde will make us want to reexamine our long term goals.
Culminations and completions can take place as always with full moons. Whatever we started six months ago with the new moon in Capricorn will come to some form of completion. Clarity, hidden truths and emotions can also surface around full moons and bring our awareness to these themes at these times usually shows what needs to be addressed, released and cleared. Full moons can also be about celebrations and manifestations, some people may be celebrating some form of achievement during this moon.
This full moon has a trine to Mars ♂ in Virgo and can give us the motivation, discipline for our ambitions and goals but can also bring up some raw emotions from the Mars trine. As Mars is in conjunction with the South node these emotions can be surging up from the past to be released at this time. These emotions can be around Virgo themes such as perfectionism but also over working to the point of burn out. I highly recommend body work such as acupuncture and massage, to help process feelings through the physical body.
The Sabian symbol associated with this moon is 19 degrees Capricorn A child about five with a huge shopping bag. The theme is great expectations. The accent is on responsibility and you may be tempted to volunteer to take over some special project. The opportunity lies in asking the right questions before commit yourself. The risk is guard against taking on more than you can safely handle. Don’t overestimate your abilities and disappoint yourself and others by falling short of what you promised to achieve. The stepping stones are ambition, aspiration, enterprise, enthusiasm, effort, struggle, strain, responsibility, endeavour, undertaking, attempt, courage, desire to help and willingness to try. The overall theme with this symbol is that we need to balance responsibility with playfulness.
On a mundane level this full moon trine South node in conjunction with Virgo will show changes in the job market such as job cuts and issues around productivity. Mars on the south node may show changes in the military, poor leadership and potential dangers. Mars in this position is quite an accident prone placement. Virgo rules health and Mars on the south node in Virgo we may see scandals involved with medical dosages as Mars on the South node can release toxins faster into the body. Capricorn themes will be bought into the spotlight such as government, big business, tycoons and corporate establishments in general.
Overall I find this moon to be quite balanced we can use the Mars aspect to to express and confront our feelings and enjoy the fruits of our labours. The moon in Capricorn is in exile and will make us more conservative and cautious at this time especially when it comes to patterns that are coming up form the South node. The expression of the full moon in Capricorn can make us more practical and diplomatic in dealing with these feelings.
